Affordable Housing SPD
The provision of more affordable
housing is identified as a key priority by the Borough Council as
reflected in the Community Strategy, Housing Strategy and Local
Development Framework Core Strategy.
The
LDF
Core
Strategy sets out the Council’s requirements for affordable
housing in new residential developments in policy CS12. The purpose
of this Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) is
to inform applicants in more detail of what the Council will expect
to secure in terms of affordable housing provision in new
residential development. As such it amplifies policy CS12.
The main objectives of the
SPD
are:
- To clarify the policy framework for
affordable housing as set out in the
LDF
Core Strategy to enable
developers, the public and other stakeholders to understand how
such housing is to be provided in the borough
- To increase housing choice and encourage better social mix
The Affordable Housing
SPD

Council in February 2009 and can be viewed and downloaded
